Structural modifications of the prostate in hypoxia, oxidative stress, and chronic ischemia.

CONCLUSIONS: Human prostate cells exhibited differential reactions to hypoxia and oxidative stress with widespread DNA damage. Structural modifications in ischemic prostate tissue were similar to those in cells exposed to oxidative stress. Structural changes due to ischemia and oxidative stress may contribute to prostatic noncompliance in aging men. PMID: 25763122 [PubMed - in process]
